Pelican Pass to South Seas Marina, Captiva Island

We left our anchorage at Pelican Pass yesterday, February 19th, and headed south through the ICW  to South Seas Plantation.  We thought it would be about 6 miles, but in reality it was more like 15 miles, taking almost two hours cruising at a speed of 10 miles an hour. We encountered more dolphins along  our way.

Dolphins play in our wake.

 We enter South Seas Resort and Marina.  It is beautiful. We head to dock L.

South Seas Marina

We get a few surprises as we arrive to our slip.

A strange photo shoot on the boat next to us. Tom is thrilled with our assigned slip.

We See Private Affair from Cincinnati - owner of Pirates Cove Restaurant, Four Seasons Marina.  What a small world!

Our boat is a small fish in a very big pond!

  We encounter a lot of sea and animal life.

Not sure what this is....

Seagulls....

More Seagulls

And  we find nice shells on the beach

Oh wow...what are these....Kids??? yikes.

South Seas Resort is quite awesome. The marina dock hands are quick to help and everyone is very friendly. It does comes with a price.  Transient price is $162 a night, for our boat.   It is February Break for the northern eastern states, so it is crowded with families.  The pools are amazing.  The restaurants are overwhelmed, but that is okay.  We use the grills at the marina and make dinner aboard the Crazy 8.

$25.00, what a bargain!

One of many pools.

Another day done.  Tomorrow we head to Fort Myers.
